IS 15710 : 2006 Road Vehicles - Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Fuel System Components - General Requirements and Definitions

1 Scope

1.1 This standard specifies general requirements anddefinitions of CNG onboard fueI system components,intended to use on motor vehicles defined in IS 14272(Part I), two wheelers and construction equipmentvehicles (CEV).

1.1.1 This standard is applicable to CNG fuel systemcomponents intended to use on vehicles usingcompressed natural gas in accordance with IS 15320(mono-fuel or hi-fuel applications).

1.1.2 It is not applicable to the following

a) Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) fuel systemcomponents located upstream of, andincluding, the vapourizer;

b) Fuel containers;

c) Stationary gas engines; and,

d) CNG fuel systems components for thepropulsion of marine craft.

1.1.3 This standard is based upon a service pressurefor compressed natural gas as a fuel at 20 MPa (200 bar)settled at 15�C. Other service pressures could beaccommodated by adjusting the pressure by theappropriate factor (ratio). For example, a 25 MPa(250 bar) service pressure system will require pressuresto be multiplied by 1.25. All references to pressure areto be considered gauge pressures unless otherwisespecified.
